Your example is slightly different from e.g. "My blood was literally boiling". *NM*

I used the article's example. But I don't see why your example is any different in that regard. *NM*

Yeah, literally in hyperbole doesn't bother me. But I also don't mind when people mock its usage. *NM*

It's not Ojala which makes me think there's a connection between the Conditional and Optative
